Assuming your looking to improve audio quality, for music?
Will plug the external headphone amplifier into the STX's line-out (RCA) jacks?
Budget for this external headphone amplifier?
Might consider spending up to $60, to "improve" the 3 op-amps, on the STX?
Check out this Darkvoice 336SE tube headphone amplifier, $220, plus shipping and sales tax.

I bought one a few months ago and I'm really liking it

I'd like to spend as little as possible whilst still getting the most out of the headphones. So preferably under $200.
Yeah i will probably plug it into the STX. What is the op-amps? And how would i improve them?

What about the Schiit Vali 2? Under $200, check. Still leaves you some mula to find a better tube as well.

Might find a used Little Dot MK3 tube head amp, with in your budget.
Op-amps - operational amplifiers.
Op-amps sit between the DAC chips and the analog audio outputs (on the STX).

Hi everyone
This is my first post on this site and i'm glad to join you guys here as i find you're reviews and comment very helpful
Firstly i should apologize for my poor english cause i'm not a native but i'll try to do my best and make as less mistakes as i can
Actually i live in iran and as some of you may know due to sanctions i have hardly any accessebilty to audio equipments and there is only one pro audio shop in the whole damn country and no returning policies or warranty moreover due to our low currency ratio this equipments are stupidly expensive here(imagine saving six month pay chek to purchase an decent amp/dac!)
Having said that,it's only matter of love for music to pay such money
Anyway i just wanted to give a background of my situation.
I'm really interested in the reviews that i read on DT1770 and believe thats what i wanted , to clarify my words i had sennheiser ie80 iem and frankly speaking i dont enjoy them anymore due to their bass leakage to midranges and closed soundstage and i'm completely aware of that an iem cant beat a full size headphones with so much bigger drivers but i'm wondering if the DT1770 solves my problem or not
You know i mostly tend to listen to rock , metal and a bit of house and don't get me wrong i love having a deep bass but i really hate that if it leak to mids at any cost...so knowing that , do you still recomend buying this hps?
Secondly i need and amp/dac to drive this beauties but due to my little accessibility there are few choices around ( i really appreciate a clean detailed wide sound with a little touch of deep base on top ) so wich of this that are listed below you recomend and if possible please let me know their SQ & sound signitures as well :
1-chord mojo
2-ak300
3-sound blaster e5
And by the way there is a new astell & kern product comming named xb10 wich in terms of size and portability really fits my needs but i reaaly don't know how it sounds and what chips or amp is used in that
Has anyone heard of them?if so please let me know cause it might be the most convinient purchase to me!
(And GOD it took me an hour to write this on my tinny phone
)
Thanks for your kind replys in advance
Hope you guys be well and cheers
